NEW TAGGER LOADOUTS & BALANCE UPDATE
Our three new Tagger Loadouts were each specifically designed to fulfill a unique role on the field. The biggest update we wanted to capture was providing support players a more clearly defined role and to have a greater impact on overall gameplay. We firmly believe we have succeed immensely and can't wait for you to try it in action!
TAG SUPPRESSOR
SUPPORT TAGGER
• Low Damage
• Provides Rate of Fire de-buff to opposing players
​
PLASMA LAUNCHER
SUPPORT TAGGER
• Medium Damage
• Explosive Splash damage that detonates after 3s on successfully hit targets
D. BARREL SHOTGUN
CLOSE RANGE TAGGER
• HIGH damage
• Close range with side splash damage and slow reload time
​
Our goal is to provide a unique role for each tagger loadout and give players a fresh playstyle option as they play through them all.
We have updated several of our taggers from Season 1 as the ASSAULT RIFLE became the META tagger with on average 90% of players specifically only using this tagger in both competitive and casual settings. Our updates have reduced the pure eliminating power of the ASSAULT RIFLE and brought existing taggers more in line as viable options to compete on the field.

BURST RIFLE
Increased Accuracy
Increased ROF
ASSAULT RIFLE

Y1S2 NEW GAME MODES
We don't mean to brag, but we'll toot our horn a bit on the new game modes for this season. They are incredibly fun and each game mode offers a very unique way to play the game. This combined with the new TAGGERS and FIELD LAYOUT make for extremely unforgettable games.
TEAM ELIMINATION HARDCORE
CASUAL/COMPETITIVE PLAY
Team Elimination Hardcore brings a whole new element to the game. Each player has a limited number of lives during the course of the match!
​
Teams need to be coordinated when they attack or defend as loosing is extremely impactful. This has been one of our most enjoyable modes as the change is playstyle accompanied by the new support taggers creates a truly unique dynamic!
VIP
CASUAL/COMPETITIVE PLAY
VIP is a fun attack/defend game mode where teams are keeping their VIP alive while trying to eliminate the opposing teams VIP.
​
Each team designate one player on their team to be the VIP. The VIP only has three lives and must be protected to prevent the other team from scoring. Each VIP elimination earns a team 1 point onto the scoreboard.
GET TO DA CHOPPA!
CASUAL PLAY
Create due to the extreme popularity of THE GOLDEN GUN game mode from Season One, GET TO DA CHOPPA is an exciting twist to our Team Elimination game mode.
​
Players battle over controlling a box that allows them to call in DA CHOPPA. If called in, DA CHOPPA will randomly eliminate players on the opposing team until it leaves. HOWEVER players can take cover at one of three designated locations which prevents DA CHOPPA from targeting them!
INFECTION CONTAINMENT
CASUAL PLAY
Infection Containment continues on the storyline from our standard infection game mode. With the Outbreak claiming the entire research station, a team of four elite players have been called in to contain the infected.
This game mode sees waves of infected trying to take down the small elite team as they are required to activate a total of three objective boxes which each shuts down a corresponding Infected Respawn station. The Elite members are extremely tough and each player has a very unique profile to offer buffs to their fellow teammates to successfully contain the outbreak.
​
THE STORY CONTINUES...
A final transmission was received from Containment Team Alpha, research station R-426 has been overrun and the team has been infected. THE COMPANY already anticipating the worst had the elite BRAVO SQUAD prepped on the situation and fully containment efforts need to be made to prevent the INFECTED from spreading beyond station R-426.
​
BRAVO SQUAD orders are to breach, contain, and lockdown the station and eliminate any stray INFECTED and await further orders.
​
2.1 UPDATED FIELD LAYOUT
The field layout has been revamped to provide a new and exciting way to play the game.
​
New angles exist and key bunkers have changed. We have also updated the capture location for objectives in CTF & Single Flag which creates much more team based plays and intense moments on the field.
INTRODUCING CALLSIGN
We are beyond excited to introduce the launch of the Callsign App to our system. Callsign is an app developed by the company who provides our Laser Tag equipment to allow players to create their own personal accounts to track stats, medals, and unlockable rewards.
​
Players simply download the app, create an account, and then sign into our system during their next visit at one of our Open Play sessions. Every time you return we can assign your account to one of our taggers and you can continue racking up your stats. Each season we will be resetting the stats for a new season of gameplay.
​
Unlockable rewards in our system include purely cosmetic tagger options. We don't want anyone to have an advantage over other players just because they hit a high level early. Unlockable items include GREEN, SILVER, PURPLE, BLACK, and ICE BLUE LEDs for your tagger when playing. Higher level unlocks also come with unique sounds for their taggers too! Ever want to use a Silenced Battle Rifle?!
